La Monte High

Public Grades 7-12

Summary

La Monte High is a public high school located in La Monte, Missouri, serving grades 7-12 with a total enrollment of 129 students. The school is part of the La Monte R-IV school district, and based on the data provided, it has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Missouri high schools over the past decade, with a current ranking of 323 out of 352 high schools in the state and a 0 out of 5 star rating from SchoolDigger.

La Monte High's academic performance, as measured by standardized test scores, is significantly below the state averages across multiple subjects and grade levels. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, only 35% of 7th graders were proficient or better in Mathematics, compared to the state average of 40.6%. Similarly, the school's proficiency rates in Science, English Language Arts, and End-of-Course exams like Algebra I, Biology I, and English II are all well below the state averages. However, the school has maintained a relatively high four-year graduation rate, ranging from 93.3% to 96.0% over the past few years, which is a positive metric that sets it apart from some of the nearby districts, such as Henry County R-I, which have lower graduation rates. On the other hand, La Monte High has struggled with high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 11.7% to 20.4% over the past few years, which is significantly higher than the state average and indicates a potential issue with student engagement and attendance.

When comparing La Monte High to the nearby schools, it becomes evident that the school is performing significantly worse than its counterparts. For example, Warrensburg High, located just 15.87 miles away, has a much higher state ranking (96 out of 352) and better academic performance across multiple subjects and grade levels. While La Monte High's overall performance is poor, there are some areas where the school performs better relative to the state average, such as the 7th-grade Mathematics proficiency rate of 35%, which is closer to the state average of 40.6%, compared to the larger gaps in other subject areas and grade levels.
